Addressing a problem such as the staffing of the enormous executive branch, the IOP study group does not distinguish very much between the Anderson or Reagan camps. Because of the general nature of their analysis, "the presentations really do not need to be that different," research fellow Al Alm, another committee member, says.

Customers-or rather, prospective parents-must raise their right hands and take an oath to love and care for their little charges. At the Georgia plant and a branch "adoption center" in Orlando, Fla., Roberts plans eventually to produce adult dolls as well.
